Laura Patinella Quotations

She's very determined behind the plate. She's strong and she and Tiffany seem to work well together. They're a good combination.

She can track the ball real well and she knows how to hit.

She has a lot of speed and she tracks balls well.

Lauren has a strong bat and she knows her position real well.

Our hitting has been our weakest part of the team over the past few years. We're going to have to play it station-to-station this year. We do have some power and overall I expect us to grow offensively as the season goes on. Defensively we're not too bad, but we're going to have to score some runs if we want to win.

There was lots of good stuff. They're a much more seasoned team. But I'm happy with our play so far. We're just going to have to get over our jitters and we have to put our bats on the ball.

It should be a good year for her. She's got a year under her belt and I'm looking forward to it.

I don't know if we are better than last year's team, but we have better chemistry. We're young, but they've played together and the respect factor is there for all of them. I wouldn't call this a rebuilding year as much as a learning year. I believe the playoffs are very attainable. We should be right in the middle of the league.
